Patient's question:
My daughter is 6 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing. We noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and she also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should we treat her tonsil inflammation and discomfort?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered based on the situation. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
