Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 8 years old, started to feel a sore throat when speaking. He noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a long time. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated if it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, 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 also important to arrange a light diet for the child, strengthen nutritional supplementation, and help with early recovery.
