Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 4 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows something. I noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks. At the same time, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis pain, how should it be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first be given symptomatic antibiotic medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
