Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old, just started, saying her throat hurts, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, also a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are swollen and very painful, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
