Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and at the same time, it seemed like he had a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How can I treat a child's tonsillitis effectively when they are crying?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, local rinsing or local spraying can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can also be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to choose some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, then it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication as appropriate. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above are relatively common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to avoid catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
