Patient's question:
My little girl is 8 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can I treat my child's painful tonsillitis?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. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential 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. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
