Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 3 years old, initially said she had pain when swallowing. It was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated when it's uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy of these methods is quite good. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should also administer fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is recommended.
