Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. He just started saying that he has pain when swallowing. We noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. I would like to ask: How should I treat a child's tonsillitis if they are crying and restless?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. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, including tonsillar crypt lavage, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. After the condition improves, it is suggested to encourage appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
