Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 7 months old, just started, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that his cough seems to be quite severe too, and it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away either. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated if it's very painful?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during treatment.
