Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking. He then found that his cough was quite severe and accompanied by a low fever. I would like to ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis when he cries and complains?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammation symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is advised. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. Additionally, if a fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken. However, for high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods. If tonsillitis occurs repeatedly in children, it is suggested to consider surgery as an early treatment option. Parents should also ensure their children are well-protected from the cold to prevent recurrent tonsillitis triggered by colds or infections.
