Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 2 years old, initially said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat. She also had mild coughing and had been slightly feverish. Could you please advise on the best treatment for tonsillitis pain in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Local medications can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, and physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
