Patient's question:
My little girl, she is 6 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. We noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, she has a slight fever and doesn't have much energy. Please ask: If the child has very painful tonsillitis, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child still has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further exposure to cold to prevent worsening of symptoms.
