Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old, just started, says even drinking water feels painful in the throat, and discovered accompanied by mild cough. Additionally, she now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated when the child is feeling uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is advised. If the sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given appropriately. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
