Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, when she spoke, she felt a sore throat. Then, I noticed her cough seemed quite severe too. Plus, she had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. I'm asking: If a toddler has very painful tonsillitis, what's the best way to treat it?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
