Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat. It was discovered that her cough seemed quite severe as well, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should the inflammation of the child's tonsils be treated?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. Local flushing or topical application of medication is also possible. Medication can also be injected into the tonsils for symptom relief, all of which have good efficacy. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. For children with fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
