Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows things, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, it seems like she's had a low fever that hasn't gone away. I'm asking: If a child's tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, and local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. While treating, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
