Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. At first, she said she had a sore throat. She also had a slight cough and a bit of a fever and wasn't feeling well. Could you please tell me how to treat her tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult with a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively relieve inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intra-tonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40°C, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be a consideration. Parents should also ensure their children are adequately warm to prevent colds and subsequent recurrent tonsillitis.
