Patient's question:
Female baby, only one month old. At first, she said her throat hurts, and I noticed she also has a mild cough. Additionally, she has had a slight fever. Please ask: How should I treat her if she has tonsillitis and is feeling uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic 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 child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet, and during treatment, a liquid diet should be primarily consumed.
