Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 5 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed it came with mild coughing. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. I'm asking: If a child has very painful tonsillitis, what treatment works best?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents are advised to consider giving pain relievers as needed. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, it's important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
