Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old. At first, she felt pain even when drinking water, and noticed it accompanied mild coughing. Also, it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are swollen and very painful, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be selected to enhance efficacy, including methods such as crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be primarily consumed during the treatment period.
