Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 1 year old. At first, she said her throat hurts, and it was discovered that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children, which is very painful, be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, one can first administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child's symptoms. Local irrigation or topical spray can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted relief, all of which are effective. If the child has a particularly sore throat, pain relief medication can be given as needed. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, and if the temperature is below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also an option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, it's important to keep the child warm and avoid further exposure to cold, which could worsen symptoms.
