Patient's question:
Female baby, only 8 months old. At first, she said her throat hurts. Upon noticing, her cough seems to be quite severe as well, and she's a bit feverish and lacks energy. Please ask: How can tonsillitis be treated effectively in infants and young children when it's very painful?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be combined, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, analgesic drugs can be used. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. In addition, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further symptoms from worsening due to cold exposure.
