Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. He just started experiencing a sore throat, and I noticed that his cough is quite severe, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How can I effectively treat a child's tonsillitis that is very painful?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If there is a fever, the method of cooling down should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
