Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and it was discovered that his cough seems to be quite severe as well. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis when he is crying?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatments can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medications can be given as needed. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If your child frequently experiences such conditions, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
