Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 8 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. I noticed that her cough seems to be quite severe too, and she's a bit feverish and lacks energy. Could you please tell me: How should I treat infant tonsillitis when it's uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, first they can take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. For children with obvious sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, they can take some fever-reducing medication. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
