Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 3 years old, initially said she had pain when swallowing. It was discovered that she also had mild coughing. Currently, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis if it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, and can also combine them with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all good options. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child still has a slight fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention is necessary. For multiple acute severe cases or those with complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. While treating, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help with early recovery.
