Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and is feeling uncomfortable, what treatment is most effective?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can also be used. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is intense, to help alleviate the suffering. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is suggested. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
