Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 2 years old. At first, she said her throat hurt even when she drank water. Then, she developed mild coughing and a low fever. Could you please advise on how to diagnose and treat tonsillitis and sore throat in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing systemic treatment, you can also opt for local treatments to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be administered. If a child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medications can be taken orally. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if a child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can also consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. During the treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
