Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old, just started, said it hurts when swallowing, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and 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:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
