Patient's question:
Female baby, only 2 months old, just starting out. She says even drinking water feels painful in her throat. She notices, coughing is quite severe, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. Local flushing or topical spraying can also be used. Medication can also be injected into the tonsils for symptom relief, all of which have good efficacy. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic medication should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences 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.
