Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old. At first, when speaking, she felt a sore throat. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. If the child's sore throat is severe, it is advisable to give them pain relievers based on the situation. If the child also has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early on. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
