Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old, just starting, a little sore throat, noticed, her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How can tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated effectively if it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local rinsing or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which are quite effective. If the child has severe throat pain, pain relievers can be given as needed. Additionally, if there is a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
