Patient's question:
Baby girl, currently 5 years old, just starting out. She feels a sore throat when speaking, notices it, has a rather severe cough, and also seems to have a low-grade fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can a child with tonsillitis feel better and recover quickly?Doctor's answer:
If a child develops tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can also be used. Pain relievers may be administered when necessary, especially when the child has severe sore throat. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be recommended. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child follows a light diet and strengthens nutritional supplementation to help with early recovery.
