Patient's question:
Female baby, only 6 months old. At first, she said her throat hurts. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and feels uncomfortable, what treatment is most effective?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child has a sore throat, appropriate pain-relieving medications can also be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
