Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. I noticed that his cough is quite severe, and he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and painful, how should it 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 the symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Moreover, if there is a fever, some antipyretics can also be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. After recovery, it is recommended to encourage your child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
