Patient's question:
My little girl is 4 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that her cough was quite severe. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated when it's very painful in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
