Patient's question:
Female baby, only 8 months old. At first, she said her throat hurts. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis pain, how should it be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child still has a fever, it should be treated accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. For repeated acute severe cases or those with complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent colds and recurrent tonsillitis.
