Patient's question:
Female baby, only 6 months old, just started, saying her throat hurts, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should we treat the baby's tonsillitis if she cries and complains?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensuring they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
