Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 2 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. I'm asking: If her tonsils are inflamed and she has a sore throat, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local medication can also be used, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
