Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he felt sore when drinking water, and I noticed his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should I treat my child's sore tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, or local rinsing or local spraying can be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils, and the effects are all quite good. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be given. If the child still has a fever, then fever-reducing drugs can be taken as appropriate. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
