Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he had a low-grade fever. Could you please advise on how to effectively treat croup caused by tonsillitis in young children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, and can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injection drugs, etc., which are all good options. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent symptoms from worsening due to cold exposure.
