Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse. At the same time, it seems like she has had a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis feel uncomfortable be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children anti-inflammatory medications. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied, while above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods, and to ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
