Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. I would like to ask: How can I treat my child's sore tonsils?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, and some local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injection of drugs are all good options. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has been feverish for a long time, parents can also give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already occurred, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
