Patient's question:
Boy, already 2 years old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat. He found that it was accompanied by a slight cough, and he had been a little feverish all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated if it is difficult to respond.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child also has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
