Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should her tonsillitis be treated if it's very painful?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
