Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 8 months old. At first, her throat felt a bit sore, and she was found to have a more severe cough. Additionally, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How to treat pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat effectively.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. If the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered based on the situation. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen according to the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be taken. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
