Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old, just started, feels sore throat when speaking, noticed that cough is quite severe, and also has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How can tonsillitis in children be treated effectively if it is very painful.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child's symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt lavage, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
