Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat. He found that the cough was quite severe, and also had a low fever. Please ask: How is tonsillitis treated in young children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child has a severe sore throat, appropriate pain-relieving medications can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
