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. She also had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How can we effectively treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying and making noise?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 the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications 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, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is crucial to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further aggravation of symptoms due to cold exposure.
