Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 4 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows things. I noticed that her cough seems to be more severe too, and she's had a slight fever for a while. Could you please tell me: How should I treat her tonsillitis pain?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can give appropriate analgesics to relieve the pain. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given to the child. If it cannot be relieved, medical attention must be sought. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can choose surgery for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
