Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat and found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, he has had a low-grade fever for a while. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis if it's uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or direct medication, to enhance the therapeutic effect. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should also consider administering fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. Tonsillitis is known to have a recurrent nature. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
