Girl baby, currently 8 years old, just started, said swallowing pain, noticed, accompanied by mild cough, also, seems like low fever hasn't gone away, please ask: How should tonsillitis in infants and young children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent catching a cold, which could trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
