Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 2 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when talking, and found that her cough seemed to be quite severe as well. Additionally, she had a slight fever and seemed listless. Please ask: How should I treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying and fussing?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. Surgical treatment may be considered for recurrent inflammation. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
