Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed something, and I noticed that his cough was quite severe. At the same time, it seemed like he had a low-grade fever that never went away. Could you please advise on how to diagnose and treat tonsillitis in children who are crying?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local irrigation or local spray can also be applied. Symptomatic medication can also be injected into the tonsils, all of which are quite effective. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Some children may also have a fever at this time, and oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If it cannot be relieved, medical attention is necessary. If the medication is not effective and it 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.
