Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old, just started, saying her throat hurts, found that coughing seems to be quite severe as well, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How to treat infant tonsillitis, which is very painful.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of drugs into the tonsils, etc. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further exposure to cold to prevent worsening of symptoms.
