Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and she has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated for infants and young children when they feel uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, can be given based on the child's symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or medication injection into the tonsils. Pain relievers may be administered when necessary, especially if the child has severe sore throat. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
