Patient's question:
Baby girl, only one month old. At first, she said it hurt to swallow things. It was discovered that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated if it's very painful in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has persistent fever, parents can use fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
