Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned one month old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated if the child has it and it hurts?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may choose surgery under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be the primary focus during the treatment period.
