Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned 4 months old. At first, he said his throat was sore, and then we noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and it seemed like the low fever never went away. Please ask: If a child's tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic medications are commonly used to treat tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, local treatments can be administered, including tonsillar crypt lavage, intratonsillar drug injection, and laser therapy. If a child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can use fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. If a child frequently experiences such conditions, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child remains warm and avoid further exposure to cold to alleviate symptoms.
