Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 8 months old, just starting, saying it hurts to swallow things, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated if it's very painful in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given as needed. If the child still has a fever, antipyretics can be taken on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
