Patient's question:
My little girl is 4 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that her cough seemed to be quite severe as well. Additionally, she had been running a low-grade fever. I would like to ask: How can I treat her tonsillitis if it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and you can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all quite effective. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child still has a fever, you can consider taking fever-reducing medication, but if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
