Patient's question:
My little girl is 8 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and she noticed that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, she has had a low-grade fever for a while. I would like to ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis if she is crying?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child still has a fever, antipyretics should be administered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. If the child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
