Patient's question:
Baby girl, only one month old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, it seemed like her low fever never went away. Please ask: How can a child with tonsillitis feel better and recover quickly?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. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication should be administered. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
