Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. He just started experiencing a sore throat, and I noticed that his cough seems to be getting worse as well. Additionally, he has a low fever. I would like to ask: How can I effectively treat tonsillitis in infants and young children when they are feeling uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic medication can be taken orally. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
