Girl baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she had a low fever. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with tonsil inflammation be treated effectively in young children?

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, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all good options. In cases of sore throat, you can also give children pain relievers. If there is a fever, you can choose a fever-reducing method based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can use physical cooling methods, and if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can take oral fever-reducing medication. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children who have recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
