Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Later, we found that his cough is quite severe, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should we treat tonsillitis when the child is uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. For local treatment, it is recommended to opt for laser therapy or medication rinsing. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If there is a fever, the method of cooling down should be selected based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover more quickly.
