Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 8 months old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things, and it was noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and very painful, how should it be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic medication can be administered orally. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During treatment, it is important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help with early recovery.
