Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Also, it seems like he hasn't had a fever for a while. Please ask: If the child has tonsil inflammation, how should it be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local rinsing or local spraying can also be used. Symptomatic medication can also be injected into the tonsils, and the efficacy is quite good. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If there is a fever, the method of cooling down should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. All of the above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease and take the child to the doctor for treatment as soon as possible.。
