Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, he felt pain even when drinking water, and I noticed his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Also, he had a slight fever and seemed tired. Please ask: How should I treat a very painful tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all good options. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
