Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, noticed it, and swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and very painful, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local rinsing or topical spraying can also be used. Medication can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment. The efficacy of these methods is quite good. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If this does not alleviate the symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can also consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering further inflammation of the tonsils.
