Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 7 months old, just starting, a little sore in the throat, noticed it, swallowing seems a bit difficult, and she has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How can tonsillitis in children be treated effectively to relieve discomfort?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers should be used to relieve the symptoms. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while for temperatures above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or the presence of complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
