Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 3 years old, initially said that she had pain when swallowing things. She also had severe coughing. Additionally, she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please advise: How should I treat her tonsillitis with crying effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first use some antibiotics for symptomatic treatment, or local medication, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intra-tonsillar medication. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Additionally, if accompanied by a fever, some fever-reducing medications can also be taken. In case of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
