Patient's question:
My little girl is 3 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. I noticed that her cough seemed to be quite severe as well. Additionally, she had been running a low fever for a while. I would like to ask: How should I treat her if she cries and complains due to tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics, and local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections are all good options. If a child's sore throat is severe, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during the treatment period.
