Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 2 years old, initially had a slightly sore throat. She was also found to have mild coughing, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated effectively when they feel uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. While treating, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
