Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 5 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and then she developed mild coughing, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated when it's very painful in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. After recovery, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
