Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 7 months old, just starting to say she has pain when swallowing things. It was found that her cough seems to be quite severe as well. At the same time, she has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated when it's uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
