Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old, just started, saying it hurts when swallowing, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and slightly feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How should we treat her if she cries and complains of tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
