Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed he was coughing quite severely. He also had a slight fever and seemed listless. I would like to ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis pain?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 tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; if the temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
