Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed he has a slight cough. At the same time, he has had a low fever. I would like to ask: If a child's tonsillitis is very painful, what treatment works best?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic medication can be injected into the tonsils. All these methods are quite effective. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should also give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. 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. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
