Patient's question:
My little girl, she is 6 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered that her cough was quite severe. Moreover, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can I treat her tonsillitis effectively when her tonsils are swollen and red?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, tonsillar injection drugs, etc., which are all good options. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, you can consider giving pain-relieving medications. If the child has persistent fever, use antipyretic drugs promptly. For fever below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be applied. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent attacks. If similar cases exist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. While treating, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help with early recovery.
