Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 4 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when she was talking, and then she noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse. Also, it seems like she's had a low fever that hasn't gone away. I'm asking: How can we treat tonsillitis in young children effectively if it's 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 and tonsillar injections, which are all quite effective. In cases of sore throat, you can also give children pain relievers. If accompanied by low fever, you can use physical cooling methods. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. These are all commonly used 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.
