Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, she has had a slight fever for a while. I would like to ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis effectively if it is inflamed and painful?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local rinsing or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which are effective. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
