Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, it was said that even drinking water with a sore throat felt painful. It was found that the cough seemed to be more severe as well, and he had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated when they feel uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given appropriately. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
