Patient's question:
My little girl is 1 year old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and also had a mild cough. Additionally, it seems like she hasn't recovered from a low fever. I would like to ask: How can I effectively treat her tonsillitis pain?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. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injections, which are all good options. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, as they can help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
