Patient's question:
My little girl is 1 year old. At first, she said her throat hurts, and then we noticed she also has a slight cough. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated when they feel uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
