Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 5 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. Then, we noticed she also has a slight cough, and low-grade fever. Question: How should I treat her tonsillitis and sore throat for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, one can choose anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatments can also be selected to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt flushing, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain-relieving medication is recommended to alleviate the symptoms. If a child has persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In cases of recurrent acute severe episodes or complications, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
