Patient's question:
My little girl is 1 year old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis if she is crying and agitated?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. While undergoing systemic treatment, local therapies can also be selected to enhance efficacy. These methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. Pain relievers can also be given to children based on their condition, especially when throat pain is severe, to help relieve discomfort. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
