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 with no energy. Please ask: How should we treat her when she cries due to tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs 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 conditions exist, 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.
