Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, she said it hurt when she swallowed things, and I noticed she had mild coughing too. Also, it seemed like she had a low fever that never went away. I'm asking: If a child has very painful tonsillitis, how should it be treated properly?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. 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, appropriate analgesics can be given. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take their children to seek medical treatment early, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
