Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old, just started, said swallowing is painful, found that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away.: How should acute tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated if it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate amounts of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered. Local irrigation or topical application can also be used. Medications can be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief, all of which are quite effective. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Additionally, if a fever is present, some antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is advisable to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
