Patient's question:
My son is 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts. We noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can we treat tonsillitis pain effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. These are all common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods, and to ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
