Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, he had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and throat pain in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets 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 sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. If the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets sufficient rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
