Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old, just started, said it hurts when swallowing, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated when it's uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. If the child still has a slight fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Rest should also be ensured to avoid fatigue.
