Patient's question:
Female baby, only 9 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, noticed that cough seems to be more severe, also a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated when it's uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections can also be used. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be given as needed. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken, but if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
