Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he had a slightly sore throat and found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a slight fever and felt lethargic. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in infants and young children be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further exposure to cold to prevent worsening of symptoms.
