Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. He noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in infants and young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, first they can take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local flushing or local spraying can also be used, and symptomatic medication can be injected into the tonsils. The effectiveness of these treatments is quite good. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child still has a slight fever, appropriate fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be maintained to avoid fatigue.
