Patient's question:
My little girl is 3 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please advise: How should I treat her tonsillitis effectively if it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
