Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she had a sore throat, and she noticed that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. I'm asking: How can I effectively treat her tonsillitis and stop her crying?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, and local treatments can also be applied, including tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the temperature: physical cooling is recommended for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral antipyretics can be given for temperatures above 38.5°C. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
