Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she said even drinking water made her throat hurt. She also found that her cough seemed quite severe, and she had a low fever. Question: How should one treat tonsil inflammation if the child is feeling uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and can also be supplemented with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar medication injections, etc., which are all good options. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling down should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used; if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Pay attention to a light diet, and during treatment, a liquid diet should be the main focus.
