Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat pediatric tonsillitis that is very painful?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, or local irrigation or local sprays can be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good effects. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the suffering. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. If the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during treatment.
