Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 2 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then he found that his cough was quite severe. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Question: How can the crying and fussing from tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used to treat tonsillitis, and can be selected as appropriate. Local rinsing or topical spraying can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is good. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be selected based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling is recommended, and above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering recurrent inflammation of the tonsils.
