Patient's question:
My little girl, she is 6 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows something, and she also has a slight cough. Additionally, she has had a low-grade fever for a while. I would like to ask: If the child has tonsillitis and it is very painful, how should it be treated for the best effect?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. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injections, which are all good options. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed accordingly, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
