Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed something. Then, I noticed his cough seemed quite severe as well. He also had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Could you please advise on how to treat severe tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. For local treatment, it is recommended to opt for laser therapy or medication rinsing. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, you may consider giving some pain-relieving medication. Additionally, if there is a fever, you can also take some fever-reducing drugs. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a recurring inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
