Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, when she started talking, she felt a sore throat. Then, I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, she also had a low fever. Please ask: If a child has tonsillitis and sore throat, how should it be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections can also be used. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medications can be taken orally. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
