Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 7 years old. At first, her throat felt a bit sore, and then she started coughing quite severely. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please tell me: How to treat tonsillitis with sore throat in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
