Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, coughed quite severely, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated when it's uncomfortable for infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be given appropriately. For children with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be used, and medical attention should be sought promptly if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C.In addition to the above medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
