Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old, just started, felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, swallowing seems a bit difficult, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis that is very painful in the child.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. When necessary, such as when the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
