Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, she had a little pain in her throat. I noticed, her cough was quite severe, and at the same time, she had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Please ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis if she's feeling uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is advisable to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds that could trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
