Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered that her cough was quite severe. Also, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. I would like to ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis if it's very painful?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms, or local medications can be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be administered. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
