Patient's question:
My male baby is 2 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something, and I noticed he also has mild coughing. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat a crying infant with tonsillitis for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication should be administered. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. 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.
