Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated when they cry and fuss.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child's symptoms. Local flushing or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. For fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should also ensure their children stay warm to prevent colds that could trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
