Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How is tonsillitis pharyngalgia treated in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. Pain relievers can also be given to children based on their condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, as this can help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
