Patient's question:
My little girl is one year old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and she also had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated properly?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, you can first administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child's symptoms. Local flushing or topical application of medication is also possible. Medication 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. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic medication should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is essential to ensure the child stays warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
