Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old, just started, saying it hurts when swallowing, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, also has a slight fever and is lacking energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pharyngalgia in young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
When treating these types of diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injections. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate pain. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic medication should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius. The above are relatively common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. While treating the condition, attention should also be paid to arranging a light diet for the child and enhancing nutritional supplementation to help facilitate early recovery.
