Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in infants and young children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. Local flushing or topical application can also be used. Medication can also be injected into the tonsils for symptom relief. The effectiveness of these methods is quite good. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
