Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered that her cough was quite severe. Moreover, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and severe pain, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. Local irrigation or topical application can also be used. Symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils, and the efficacy is quite good. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide children with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
