Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 5 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. Then, we noticed she has a slight cough, and also a low fever. Please ask: How should we treat her tonsillitis and sore throat for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing systemic treatment, you can also opt for local treatments to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has been feverish for an extended period, parents should also administer fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, it is advisable to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
