Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, she said her throat hurts. I noticed she also has a mild cough, and she's been running a low fever. I'm asking: If my child cries due to tonsillitis, how should I treat it?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. They can also combine it with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all quite effective. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to give them pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help them recover as soon as possible.
