Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 4 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows something. We noticed she also has a slight cough, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please tell me how to treat tonsillitis pain in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local therapies can also be selected to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
