Patient's question:
My little girl is 8 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, she had a slight fever and seemed listless. I would like to ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While taking medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
