Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, she said her throat hurt even when drinking water. Then, she developed mild coughing, and it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis in young children that causes crying and fussing?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
