Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 5 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts, and then we noticed she seems to have difficulty swallowing. At the same time, she has a slight fever and doesn't seem energetic. Could you please tell me how to treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying and upset?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
