Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. At first, there was a slight pain in the throat. She noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated when it's uncomfortable for infants and toddlers?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. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, it is acceptable to take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
