Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 9 years old, initially said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and she also had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis if it's causing discomfort?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. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all good options. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, it is appropriate to take fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain a light diet and focus on a liquid diet.
