Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that her cough was quite severe, and it seemed like her low fever never went away. Could you please tell me: How should tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotics. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
