Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old, just started, saying her throat hurts, found that cough seems to be more severe, and accompanied by low fever, please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. Local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. While undergoing treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
