Patient's question:
My little girl is 1 year old. At first, when she spoke, she felt a sore throat. She noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are swollen and very painful, how should they be treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat condition is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases exist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
