Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and discovered it was accompanied by a mild cough. Meanwhile, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in infants and young children, which is very painful, be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or medication injection into the tonsils. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their child to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
