Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat and found it a bit difficult to swallow. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How can we effectively treat his tonsillitis when he cries and complains?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and you can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all effective. If the child has a sore throat, you can also give some pain-relieving medication as needed. If there is a fever, you can choose a fever-reducing method based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can use physical cooling methods, and if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can take fever-reducing medication orally. If your child frequently experiences this condition, you can consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
