Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, when he started talking, he felt a sore throat. I noticed he also had a mild cough, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis and crying?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while for temperatures above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
