Patient's question:
Boy, just turned two months old, just started, said his throat hurts, noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated well.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief, all of which have good efficacy. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the suffering. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further aggravation of symptoms due to cold exposure.
