Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old, just started, saying it hurts when swallowing things, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and throat pain in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all good options. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
