Patient's question:
My male baby is 2 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and it was found that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well. Additionally, it seemed like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should we diagnose and treat the severe tonsillitis pain in the child?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all effective. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, they can take some fever-reducing medications. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
