Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old. At first, she said her throat hurts. Upon noticing, her cough is quite severe, and it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can a child with tonsillitis feel better and recover quickly?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child's symptoms. 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 main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if fever is present, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple episodes of acute severe symptoms or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent worsening of symptoms.
