Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 8 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, he also has a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
If the child has tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotics. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, if the child has a fever, they can also take fever-reducing medication. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, a tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is essential to keep the child warm and avoid further cooling to worsen the symptoms.
