Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and then I noticed she seemed to have difficulty swallowing. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis if it's very painful?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. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during treatment.
