Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she said it hurt to swallow things, and it was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should we treat tonsillitis when the child is uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered based on the situation. Additionally, if fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
