Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated if it is very painful.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all good options. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has been feverish for a long time, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgery for treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
