Patient's question:
My male baby is 2 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he had been running a low fever. I would like to ask: How should tonsillitis pain in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for the treatment of tonsillitis and can be selected as appropriate. While systemic treatment is administered, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including crypt irrigation, direct injection of drugs into the tonsils, etc. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advised to consider surgery at an early stage. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is well-warmed to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
