Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that his cough seemed to be getting worse too. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please tell me how to treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying and upset?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can select some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on the symptoms. While taking medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to avoid catching a cold and triggering another episode of tonsillitis.
