Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, his throat felt a bit sore, and he noticed it was accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated for pain relief?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local medication can also be used, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication can be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
