Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and she has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated if it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. If a child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections may also be used. If a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If a child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
