Question
The baby girl, just 8 months old, has just started to say that she feels pain when swallowing and has difficulty swallowing. Additionally, she now has a persistent high fever. Please ask: How should children’s tonsillitis be treated effectively if it is very painful?
Answer
It is appropriate to administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be carried out, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil intramuscular injection. If the pain in the throat is severe, some painkillers can be administered. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take some antipyretics. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and there are repeated episodes, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child’s warmth and avoid exacerbating symptoms by catching a cold.
