Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows things. She noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should the tonsillitis be treated if the child's tonsils are very painful?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. Additionally, if fever is present, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
