Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old, just starting, feels a sore throat when speaking, found that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and at the same time, it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated if it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's throat pain is particularly severe, pain-relieving medication may be given as needed. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. These are common treatment methods. However, if tonsillitis frequently recurs, it is advisable to consider early surgical intervention. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
