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 seemed like his low-grade fever never subsided. Please 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. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. If the child has a persistent fever, 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 developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
