Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 2 years old, just starting, a little sore throat, noticed it, swallowing seems a bit difficult, and has been a bit feverish all along. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis pain, how should it be treated properly.

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the sore throat condition is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling down should be selected based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, it is necessary to ensure adequate rest and avoid fatigue.
