Patient's question:
My little girl, she is 6 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered that her cough seemed quite severe as well. Moreover, it appeared that her low-grade fever hadn't gone away. Please ask: How should one treat severe tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, and local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be taken. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
