Patient's question:
My son is 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. He also had mild coughing and had been slightly feverish. Please ask: How can I effectively treat my child's sore tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving some analgesics to alleviate the pain. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is well-warmed to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
