Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 4 years old, initially said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She was also experiencing mild coughing and had been slightly feverish. Please advise: How should I treat her tonsillitis if it is swollen and red?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and recurrent tonsillitis.
