Patient's question:
Boy, he is already one year old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat. It was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If a child's tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. While systemic treatment is ongoing, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including methods such as crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child still has a fever, paracetamol can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to arrange a light diet for the child, strengthen nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
