Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 3 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. Then, I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and she had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: If her tonsils are inflamed, how should she be treated for it?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can consider giving pain-relieving medication to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and further inflammation of the tonsils.
