Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and found that her cough seemed to be quite severe as well, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How can the treatment be effective if the child's tonsillitis is very painful?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has a fever, the method of fever reduction should be selected based on the temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while oral fever-reducing medications are recommended for temperatures above 38.5°C. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
