Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old, at first, said his throat hurts, noticed that, accompanied by mild cough, at the same time, has been a bit of fever, please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
