Patient's question:
My little girl is 1 year old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. I noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she talked, and she had been a bit feverish all along. Could you please tell me how to diagnose and treat tonsillitis with fever in young children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection may be used. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use analgesics to alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, if fever is present, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. For recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help speed up recovery.
