How to treat tonsillitis effectively when children feel uncomfortable

Patient's question:

My little girl, she's 4 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. Then, we noticed she also has a mild cough and a low fever. Please ask: How can we effectively treat children's tonsillitis when they feel uncomfortable?

Doctor's answer:

For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
