Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 2 years old. At first, he said that swallowing was painful, and he noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he has had a slight fever. Please ask: How should children's tonsillitis be treated when it causes discomfort?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is children's tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be effective. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can be combined, including tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate pain relief medication may be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, parents should take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment early for their children, and pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
