Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 9 months old, just started, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, and found mild coughing. Also, a bit of fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated when it's very painful in young children?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate analgesics can be administered. For fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
