Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat was sore. It was found that his cough was quite severe and accompanied by low fever. Question: How should tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated if it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. While treating the condition, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover quickly.
