Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 3 years old, initially said that she felt pain when swallowing things. I noticed that her swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she has had a slight fever for a while. I would like to ask: How can tonsillitis be treated effectively when it's very painful in children?Doctor's answer:
First, for treating pediatric tonsillitis, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. 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 addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
