Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 months old, just started, said her throat hurts, noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks, and she has a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated if it's very painful in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all good options. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is known for its recurrent nature. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is important to ensure the child has a balanced diet and proper rest habits to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
