Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. I noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can tonsillitis pain in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, first, they can take some symptomatic antibiotics. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
