Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat, and it was discovered that he also had a mild cough. Additionally, he had a slight fever and seemed listless. I would like to ask: How can I effectively treat my child's tonsillitis when he is crying and upset?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics, and local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the suffering. Additionally, if there is a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
