Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old, just started. Says even drinking water feels painful in her throat, noticed that coughing seems to be quite severe as well, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should one treat a child's painful tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is intense, to help alleviate the suffering. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If this does not relieve the symptoms, medical attention is necessary. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can choose surgery for treatment under a doctor's guidance. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of the symptoms due to catching a cold.
