Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, discovered that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How can you treat tonsillitis in children effectively when it's uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, one can initially provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child's symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If the child has a particularly sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. Tonsillitis is known for its recurrent nature. If similar episodes occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is essential to keep the child well-warmed to prevent worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
