Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old. At first, he felt sore throat even when drinking water, and found that it was accompanied by mild cough. Additionally, he had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How can the crying and fussing of a child with tonsillitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as appropriate. 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 the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
