Patient's question:
My daughter is 9 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. I noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and it seemed like she had a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis pain in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injections can also be used. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed appropriately. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
