Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed her coughing quite severely. It seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away either. I'm asking: How should we treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying?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. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, as they can help alleviate the pain. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. If the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
