Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old, just starting, feels sore throat when speaking, found that cough seems to be more severe, and seems like low fever hasn't gone away, please ask: How should I treat a child with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if there is a fever, you can also take some fever-reducing medications. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
