Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, she had a slight fever and seemed tired. Please ask: How can I effectively treat my child's tonsillitis when they are crying and making a fuss?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered. In severe cases, it is important 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. During treatment, it is crucial to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further symptoms from worsening due to cold exposure.
