Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old, just started, saying it hurts when swallowing, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and slightly feverish with no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated effectively if it 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, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are both effective. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers can be used to relieve the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
