Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she said it hurt when she swallowed things. Then, we noticed her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and she had been running a low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat her tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local rinsing or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which are quite effective. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to give them pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, maintain a light diet and focus on a liquid diet.
