Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 6 months old. At first, she said it hurt when she swallowed something. She noticed that her cough seemed to be quite severe as well. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can the tonsillitis in the child be treated effectively if it's very painful?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. While treating, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help with early recovery.
