Patient's question:
My daughter, who is 8 years old, initially had a slightly sore throat. She then developed severe coughing, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please advise: How can I treat her severe tonsillitis pain?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has a good effect. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
