Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old, just started, feels a sore throat when speaking, noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking. At the same time, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are swollen and very painful, what treatment is most effective.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections can be used in conjunction. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be applied. If the child has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early on. Lastly, parents are advised to take this condition seriously, seek medical treatment for their child as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
