Patient's question:
Female baby, only 6 months old, just starting to say it hurts when swallowing, noticed, accompanied by mild cough, and now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated effectively if it's very painful in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms, or local medications can be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
