Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. He noticed that his cough was quite severe, and it seemed like his low fever never went away. Please ask: How can tonsillitis in young children be treated effectively when it's uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent colds and recurrent tonsillitis.
