Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that his cough seemed to be getting worse too. It also seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. I'm asking: How should I treat a very painful tonsillitis in young children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is essential to keep the child warm and avoid further exposure to cold to prevent symptoms from worsening.
