Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something. Later, we noticed his cough seems to be quite severe as well, and it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Could you please advise on how to treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider early surgery. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
