Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 8 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. Noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are swollen and very painful, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all quite effective. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be given. If accompanied by low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider early surgery. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
