Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, she had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents may consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature: physical cooling is suitable for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral fever-reducing medications can be used for temperatures above 38.5°C. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
