Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that his cough is quite severe. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should I treat my child's severe tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be combined. For children with severe throat pain, pain-relieving medications may be given as needed. If the child has a low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
