Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Moreover, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?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. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be combined. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child also has low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
