Patient's question:
Female baby, only 8 months old, just starting, saying it hurts to swallow things, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How is tonsillitis in children treated for pain?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to give them pain relievers based on the situation. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further exposure to cold to worsen the symptoms.
