Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. I noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. Additionally, she had a slight fever and seemed tired. Please ask: If a child's tonsils are swollen and very painful, what treatment works best?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While taking medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should also give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and focus on a liquid diet.
