Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis, which is very painful, be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, (treat according to symptoms) antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent them from catching a cold and triggering another episode of tonsillitis.
