Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 6 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows things. I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should children's tonsillitis be treated when it's uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If a child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be promptly applied. Physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. It is important to maintain a light diet during daily life and focus on a liquid diet during treatment.
