Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. He just started experiencing a sore throat, and I noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Additionally, he has a slight fever and seems lacking in energy. I would like to ask: If a child's tonsils are inflamed and they are crying, how should it be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
