Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 9 months old, just started, said swallowing hurts, noticed, accompanied by mild cough, and a bit fever, no energy, please ask: if the child's tonsillitis is swollen and painful, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections can also be used. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, parents are advised to consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. For children with fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
