Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and then it was discovered that her cough was quite severe, and it seemed like her low fever never went away. Please ask: How should we treat tonsillitis in young children that causes crying for the best effect?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. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. When necessary, such as when the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help facilitate early recovery.
