Patient's question:
Female baby, only 8 months old, just starting to say that swallowing something hurts. It was found that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking. Also, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How to treat children's tonsillitis when they cry and fuss.Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing systemic treatment, you can also opt for local treatments to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medications should be taken. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
