Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 8 months old. At first, she said her throat hurts. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and she has a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How can the child's tonsillitis be treated if it's uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child's symptoms. Local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
