Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: If a child's tonsils are very painful due to inflammation, how should it be treated?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. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing medications can be taken orally. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
