Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 months old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and discovered that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated when it's very painful in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them according to symptoms, or opt for local rinsing or local spraying. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If a child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be given. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
