Patient's question:
Female baby, only 7 months old. At first, it felt painful even to swallow water, and she also had mild coughing. Additionally, her high fever hasn't subsided yet. Please ask: How can tonsillitis in children be treated effectively when it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsil crypt lavage or intratonsillar medication can be used in conjunction. If the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given according to the situation. For fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Pay attention to a light diet, and consume primarily liquid foods during treatment.
