Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon noticing, swallowing seems a bit difficult, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and pain, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, and can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all good options. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. For fever symptoms, fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
