Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something, and I noticed that his cough seems to be more severe as well. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. I would like to ask: How can I treat my child's sore throat with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medications can be taken. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor to consider surgical treatment. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold, which may trigger a recurrence of tonsillitis.
