Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that his cough was quite severe. Also, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should I treat my child's sore tonsils, which are very painful?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections can also be performed. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be administered orally. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
