Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old, just starting, feels sore throat even when drinking water, noticed, coughing is quite severe, and, seems like low-grade fever hasn't gone away, please ask: if the child's tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be treated well.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child also has a fever, it should be managed accordingly, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it's important to keep the child warm to prevent worsening symptoms due to catching a cold.
