Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 8 months old. At first, when she spoke, she felt a sore throat. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Moreover, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated if it's very painful in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While taking the medication, they can also undergo some local treatments, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to give them pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
