Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and it was noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated for pain?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during the treatment period.
