Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 2 months old, just starting, a little sore in the throat, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should I treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying and fussing?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy of these methods is quite good. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, it should be treated accordingly with fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or with existing complications, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
