Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old, just started, feels sore throat when speaking, found, cough is quite severe, also, has had a slight fever for a while, please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated if it is very painful.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. Pain relievers can also be provided based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be primarily followed during the treatment period.
