Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, accompanied by a low fever. Please advise: How can we effectively treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying and upset?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied locally. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. If fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. For recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
