Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that his cough seems to be getting worse. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can I effectively treat my child's tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. These are all relatively common treatment methods. However, if a child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and primarily consume liquid foods during the treatment period.
