Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, he has a low fever. Please ask: How can tonsillitis and throat pain in children be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication if appropriate. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
