Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 5 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered mild coughing. Additionally, she had a slight fever and seemed lethargic. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotics. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretics can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
