Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 8 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and then we noticed she had severe coughing. Also, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. I'm asking: How can we effectively treat tonsillitis pain in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can also be given as appropriate. Additionally, if there is a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible.In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
