Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts, and she noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Moreover, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can the treatment for tonsillitis be effective when the child is crying?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotics. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all good options. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
