Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old, just started, saying it hurts when swallowing, noticed that coughing seems to be more severe as well, and a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How to treat crying and fussing in infants and toddlers with tonsillitis.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections can be used in conjunction. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, analgesic medication can be applied. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic medication can be taken orally. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be prioritized during the treatment period.
