Patient's question:
Female baby, only 5 months old. At first, she said it hurt to swallow things, and she noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Also, it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: If a child's tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. Additionally, if the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent them from catching a cold and triggering another episode of tonsillitis.
