Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 8 years old, initially said she had a sore throat. It was found that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and she also had a low fever. Please ask: If the child has very painful tonsillitis, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication can also be used. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. 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. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
