Patient's question:
Boy, already 2 years old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat. He noticed that his cough was quite severe, and at the same time, he had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis if the child is uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
First, parents can give their children anti-inflammatory medications to treat pediatric tonsillitis. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all effective. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
