Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows things. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied for temperatures below 38.5°C. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
