Patient's question:
My daughter is 4 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She also had a more severe cough. Additionally, she had a low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat severe tonsillitis in children for the best results?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child has a severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given as needed. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken, but if it persists, medical attention must be sought promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
