Patient's question:
Boy, he is already one year old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water, noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should I treat his tonsillitis if it's causing discomfort?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. If a child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections may also be used. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be administered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing drugs. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
