Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 3 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. Then, we noticed she has severe coughing. Also, she has a slight fever and doesn't seem energetic. Could you please advise: How should we treat her tonsillitis effectively if it's very painful?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the child has severe sore throat, it is advisable to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
