Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, when she started talking, she felt a sore throat, and then she had a mild cough. Also, she's been a bit feverish. Please ask: If the child's tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications may be considered. If the child has a fever, it should be managed accordingly, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Furthermore, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
