Patient's question:
Boy, already 5 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He also noticed mild coughing and had been slightly feverish. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in infants and young children, which causes crying, be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet, and during treatment, a liquid diet should be the main focus.
