Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 5 months old, just started, said swallowing hurts, noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and he has a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated if it is very painful.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms, or local medications can be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, some fever-reducing medications can be taken orally. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
