Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his cough seems to be more severe, and he has a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed, how should they be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
