Patient's question:
Baby girl, only one month old, just starting. She says even drinking water feels painful in her throat. She has also noticed severe coughing. Additionally, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis, which is very painful, be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. Pain relievers can also be administered based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
