Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, she said her throat hurts. I noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks, and she also has a low fever. Please ask: How should I treat a child's sore tonsils that are very painful?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be given appropriately. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the temperature: physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral fever-reducing medications can be administered for temperatures above 38.5°C. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During the treatment period, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
