Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, but then discovered that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should we treat a child with tonsillitis who is crying?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during the treatment period.
