Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old, just started, saying it hurts to swallow things, found that coughing is quite severe, and at the same time, she has now high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated when it's uncomfortable for children.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children. These medications can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be administered. For high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to provide children with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
