Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. It was found that her cough seems to be quite severe as well, and she has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should pharyngitis and tonsillitis in young children be treated?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 symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during treatment.
