Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 2 years old this year, initially felt a sore throat when she started talking. She then experienced severe coughing and had a low fever. I would like to ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis for the best results?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. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, fever-reducing medication can be administered orally. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further aggravation of symptoms by catching a cold.
