Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 4 years old, initially said that she had pain when swallowing. I noticed that her swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Moreover, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis and sore throat in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all good options. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
