Patient's question:
My male baby is 2 years old. At first, it was said that even drinking water with a sore throat felt painful, and it was noticed that the cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he had been slightly feverish for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated when it is very painful in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections can also be used. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child has persistent fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent symptoms from worsening due to catching a cold.
