Patient's question:
My child at home is a male baby, 3 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking and discovered that his cough seems to be quite severe as well. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should one effectively treat a child's tonsillitis, which is very painful?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, or topical treatments can be applied, such as tonsillar fossa irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use analgesics to alleviate the symptoms. If the child still has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention is necessary. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help promote early recovery from the illness.
