Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 6 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. She was also experiencing mild coughing, and she had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in infants and young children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention.In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consider surgery for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
