Patient's question:
My male child, who is 2 years old, initially said he had pain when swallowing. It was discovered that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should the treatment for tonsillitis in young children be carried out to alleviate crying?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While undergoing systemic treatment, local therapy can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
