Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 9 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated for infants and young children when they feel uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication can also be used. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
