Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She also had mild coughing and a slight fever, and she wasn't feeling well. I'm asking: If a child has tonsillitis and pain, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
