Patient's question:
My daughter, who is 9 years old, initially said she had a sore throat. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: If a child has tonsillitis and sore throat, how should it be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The effectiveness of these methods is quite good. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child has persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further symptoms from worsening due to cold exposure.
