How to treat infant and toddler tonsillitis pain effectively

Patient's question:

Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then discovered it was accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Please ask: How should infant tonsillitis pain be treated for the best results?

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 treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the 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.
