Patient's question:
My male baby is 2 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things, and then we noticed he has severe coughing. Also, it seems like he hasn't recovered from a low fever. Could you please tell me: How should I treat a child's tonsillitis when it's uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers can be used to alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, if the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
