Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered it was accompanied by a mild cough, and he also had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated when it is uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all effective. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain-relieving medications to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
