Patient's question:
My daughter is 4 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. I noticed her cough seems quite severe as well. She also has a slight fever and doesn't seem energetic. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis in children effectively when it causes discomfort?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptom-relieving antibiotics. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medicinal rinsing. If the child has a particularly sore throat, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
