Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old, just started saying his throat hurts. Noticing that, coughing is quite severe, and he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated when it's very painful in young children.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. Local flushing or topical application of medication can also be used. Medication can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which have good efficacy. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgery for treatment under medical supervision. During treatment, it is also important to ensure the child has a light diet and adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
