Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 3 years old. At first, he felt pain even when drinking water, and he also had mild coughing. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How can we effectively treat tonsillitis when the child is crying and fussing?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as appropriate. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
