Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking, and discovered that his cough seems to be quite severe as well. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should one effectively treat pediatric tonsillitis, which is very painful?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, or local treatments can be applied, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use analgesics to alleviate the symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, fever reduction should be considered accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
