Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, found that cough seems to be more serious, and has been a bit feverish, please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated for relief?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can consider giving some analgesics to relieve the pain. If the child also has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there are recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
