Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat. He found that coughing seemed to be more severe as well, and it seemed like the low fever hadn't gone away either. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated when it's very painful in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can also be used. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing drugs. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is essential to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
