Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that his cough also seemed quite severe, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated for infants and young children when they feel uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While taking medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. In cases of sore throat, you can also give children pain relievers. If the child still has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. For multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
