Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old, just started. She says her throat hurts even when drinking water, and she noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat a child's painful tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, one can first administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child's symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicated rinsing is recommended. For children with pronounced sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be used. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical intervention is advisable. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
