Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old this year. At first, she said her throat hurt even when she drank water. She noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and also had a low fever. Please ask: if a child has inflamed tonsils and severe pain, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child still has a fever, it should be treated accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention is necessary. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
