Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water, accompanied by mild coughing, and it seems like a low fever hasn't subsided. Please ask: How should the treatment be for a child with tonsillitis and crying?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children under the guidance of a doctor, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied. Pain relievers can also be given when necessary, such as when a child experiences severe sore throat. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, while physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider early surgery. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds, which may trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
