Patient's question:
Female baby, only 5 months old. At first, she said her throat was sore, and it was found that it was accompanied by mild coughing. At the same time, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in infants and young children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the suffering. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and choose surgery for treatment. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
