Patient's question:
My daughter is 9 years old. At first, she said her throat hurt even when drinking water, and she also noticed that her cough seemed quite severe. Additionally, she had a low fever. Please ask: How can we effectively treat severe tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil medication injections can also be used. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take some fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the to prevent recurrence. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm to avoid exacerbating the symptoms due to catching a cold.
