Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and it was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, his high fever hasn't subsided yet. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and very painful, how should the condition be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. In addition to these drug and treatment methods, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
