Patient's question:
Baby girl, only one month old. At first, when she was talking, she felt a sore throat. She noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing. At the same time, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated effectively when they are crying?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children anti-inflammatory medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help with early recovery.
