Patient's question:
Female baby, only 8 months old, just started, said her throat hurts, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and slightly feverish, lacking energy. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis pain be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them according to symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is recommended during treatment.
