Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. He just started experiencing a sore throat, and I noticed that his cough seems to be getting worse as well. He also has a slight fever and seems to lack energy. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis in young children effectively?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication flushing is recommended. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their child to the hospital for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
