Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 3 years old. At first, her throat felt a bit sore, and then I noticed her cough seemed quite severe too. She's also had a low-grade fever for a while. Could you please tell me how to treat tonsillitis in children when they are crying?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. While taking the medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be administered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. In addition to these medications and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
