Patient's question:
My little boy, he is 2 years old. At first, he had a little sore throat, and then I noticed he had a very intense cough, and also had a low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat severe tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. For local treatment, it is recommended to opt for laser therapy or medicinal rinsing. You can also give some pain relievers to the child based on their condition, especially when the sore throat pain is severe, as it can help alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, you can consider taking fever-reducing medication if necessary. However, if the fever persists, it is essential 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 child warm and avoiding catching a cold to prevent the tonsils from becoming inflamed again.
