Patient's question:
Female baby, only 7 months old. At first, she said it hurt to swallow things, and it was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
