Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she said even drinking water made her throat hurt. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and she also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and very painful, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, and can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injection of drugs, etc., which are all good options. Pain relievers can also be given to children based on their condition, especially when the sore throat pain is severe, as they can help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken orally. If the drug efficacy is poor and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
