Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 9 months old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. It was noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis, which is very painful, be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, first, they can take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is suggested that parents can consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, timely use of fever-reducing medication is necessary. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
