Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, she had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in young children be treated if it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics, or local treatments can be applied, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing drugs. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar situations occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is essential to keep the child warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
