Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, it seemed like her low-grade fever never went away. I'm asking: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor, or use local rinsing or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which are quite effective. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
