Patient's question:
My little girl is 3 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows things, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and she also has a low fever. Please ask: If a child has very painful tonsillitis, how should it be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. They can be selected as appropriate. They can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections, which are all good options. Pain relievers can also be given to children based on their condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen according to the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children who have recurrent episodes. 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.
