Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old, just starting, saying it hurts when swallowing things, noticed that, cough seems to be more severe as well. Additionally, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated when it's very painful?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medication may be considered. If the child also has a fever, appropriate fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be maintained to avoid fatigue.
