Patient's question:
My little girl is 4 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. She also had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis in children when they are crying and upset?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections are all good options. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take their children to seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
