Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and she noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with sore throat in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. For children who experience multiple acute severe episodes or have existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
