Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he had a low fever. I would like to ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis when he is crying?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children who have recurrent episodes. 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.
