Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old, just started, saying it hurts when swallowing, noticed, coughing is quite severe, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: if the child's tonsils are swollen and very painful, how should it be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, first, they can take some symptomatic antibiotics, or use local medications, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injections. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, some fever-reducing medications can be taken orally. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already occurred, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Pay attention to a light diet, and mainly consume liquid food during the treatment period.
