Patient's question:

Boy, already 3 years old, at the beginning, said that even drinking water feels sore in the throat, found that coughing seems to be more serious, at the same time, a little fever and no energy, please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated if it is very painful in children.

Doctor's answer:

For treatment, you can first administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child's symptoms. You can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are quite effective. If the child has a severe sore throat, you may consider giving some pain-relieving medication. Some children may also have a fever, in which case you can give them oral fever-reducing medication. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover more quickly.
