Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, it was said that even drinking water with a sore throat felt painful. It was found that the cough seemed to be more severe as well, and it was a bit feverish and lacking in energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated if it is very painful in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, and they can be combined with local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
