Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, when he spoke, he felt a sore throat, and he noticed that his cough was quite severe. At the same time, it seemed like his low fever never went away. Please ask: How can we treat a child's tonsillitis effectively when they are crying?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used, and medications can be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief—all of which have good efficacy. If the child has severe throat pain, pain-relieving medications can be given as needed. For fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be administered. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. Tonsillitis is known for its recurrent nature. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
