Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 3 years old, initially said she had a sore throat. I noticed that her cough seemed to be getting worse as well, and she also had a low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat her tonsillitis when she's crying?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can also be used. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be primarily consumed.
