Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat. Then, I noticed she also had mild coughing. At the same time, it seems like she hasn't recovered from a low fever. I'm asking: If her tonsils are inflamed and painful, what treatment works best?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. If accompanied by low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
