Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old, just started, said it hurts when swallowing things, noticed that coughing seems to be more severe as well, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should one treat a child with sore tonsils and discomfort?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics should be administered. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
