Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 4 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. Then, we noticed she has a mild cough too. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please tell me how to treat severe tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and you can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections, which are all good options. In cases of sore throat, you can also give children pain relievers. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help with early recovery.
