Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 8 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, she has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should we treat a child's sore tonsils when they are uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. They can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections, which are all effective. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of reducing body temperature should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. 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.
