Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 months old. At first, she felt pain in her throat even when drinking water. She noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and she had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and painful, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can also be used. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. Additionally, if the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
