Patient's question:
My little girl, she is 6 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows something. We noticed that she also has a mild cough and a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in infants and young children be treated well?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 undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be selected to enhance efficacy, including methods such as crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
