Patient's question:
My little girl is 4 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. She also had mild coughing and had been slightly feverish. I would like to ask: How can I effectively treat her tonsil inflammation and pain?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. If a child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
