Patient's question:
My daughter is 7 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, it seems like she has had a low-grade fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis pain?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics, or local treatments can be applied, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, medical attention must be sought. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide children with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
