Patient's question:
Female baby, only 2 months old, just starting, says her throat hurts even when drinking water. She has discovered that her cough is quite severe, and it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: If the child develops tonsillitis and it hurts a lot, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, can give the child some antibiotics, which is quite effective. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injection of drugs, etc., which are all good. When necessary, such as when the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be given. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe cases or complications have already occurred, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is mainly necessary to ensure the child is well-warmed and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
