Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all good options. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Some children may also have a fever at the same time. In this case, oral antipyretics can be given to the child. If it cannot be relieved, it is necessary to seek medical attention. If there is a condition of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
