Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed he has a mild cough at the same time. He has also had a slight fever. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis in children that causes crying?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. Local medication can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
