Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking and found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated effectively when they are crying?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child's symptoms, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving some analgesics to alleviate the pain. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child is well-warmed to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
