Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old. At first, she said even drinking water felt painful in her throat. She noticed that her cough seemed quite severe as well, and she had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How can the pain from the child's tonsillitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
First, parents can give their child anti-inflammatory medication to treat pediatric tonsillitis. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
