Patient's question:
Female baby, only 4 months old, just starting. She says her throat hurts even when drinking water, and she notices it accompanied by mild coughing. Also, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing systemic treatment, you can also opt for local treatments to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can also consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
