Patient's question:
My little girl is 1 year old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and I noticed she had mild coughing, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated if it is very painful in children?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, surgical treatment can be considered 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.
