Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. It was also discovered that she had mild coughing, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated effectively to relieve the pain?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics can be given to the child to relieve symptoms, which is quite effective. In addition, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used, and above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever reducers can be taken. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, a light diet should be followed, and a liquid diet is preferred.
