Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old, just starting, feels a sore throat when speaking, notices it, coughs quite severely, and has been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should I treat the sore tonsillitis in the child?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, and local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, and laser therapy can also be performed. Pain relievers may be given when necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed accordingly, and if the temperature exceeds 40°C, prompt medical attention is required. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
