Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. I noticed that his cough is quite severe, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How can I effectively treat my child's tonsillitis when he cries and screams?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation is recommended. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, as they can help alleviate the pain. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
