Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 5 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. Then, I noticed her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks. Also, she's been running a low fever. Could you please advise on how to effectively treat her tonsillitis and reduce her crying?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. They can be selected as needed. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs can be administered orally. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
