Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 5 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, she has a slight fever and doesn't seem very energetic. Could you please advise on how to treat pediatric tonsillitis, which can be very painful?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the condition does not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
