Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old. At first, he felt pain even when drinking water, and found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take symptomatic antibiotic medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic medication should be used promptly. For fever below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
