Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It turned out that his cough was also quite severe, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis and sore throat?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
