Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, noticed it, swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and at the same time, it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local medication can also be used, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child still has a fever, it should be considered for fever reduction. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
