Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 6 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and then she started coughing quite severely. She also had a low fever and wasn't feeling well. I'm asking: How should children with tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated when they feel uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. 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 given. If the child has fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can also choose surgery under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
