Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 9 years old, just started, saying it hurts when swallowing, noticed, coughing is quite severe, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How to treat pediatric tonsillitis when it's uncomfortable.Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as irrigation or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, it is necessary to ensure the child gets plenty of rest and avoids fatigue.
