Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and then found that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: If a child's tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. Additionally, if the child has a fever, they can take some antipyretic drugs. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the is under control to prevent recurrence. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to avoid catching colds, which could trigger the recurrence of tonsillitis.
