Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, she said her throat hurt. Then, we noticed she had severe coughing and also had a low fever. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed, how should they be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all good options. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
