Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. Later, we found that his cough is quite severe, and he also has a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be administered based on the situation. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, while physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further aggravation of symptoms due to cold exposure.
