Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. She also has a slight cough and low fever. Please ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis if she is crying?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing systemic treatment, you can also opt for local treatments to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is advisable to undergo a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is essential to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further exacerbation of symptoms due to cold exposure.
