Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 8 months old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, also has been a bit feverish. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis in children if it's very painful.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. They can also combine it with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all good options. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
