Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. It was found that her cough is quite severe, and at the same time, it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated for pain.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinses are recommended. If the child's sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, and physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
