Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old, just started, says even drinking water feels sore in the throat, found accompanied by mild cough, and now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated if it's very painful in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If this does not relieve the symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery early on. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
