Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water, and he also had mild coughing. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis effectively if my child's tonsils are very painful?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. At the same time as taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. In cases of sore throat, children can also be given pain relievers. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing drugs can be administered orally. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor to consider surgical treatment. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering another episode of tonsillitis.
