Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 3 months old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. Also, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated when they feel uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and some local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections are all good options. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be administered promptly. Physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can also choose surgery under a doctor's guidance for treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is well-warmed to prevent worsening symptoms due to catching a cold.
