Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis if he cries and screams?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child still has a fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
