Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 5 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his cough is quite severe, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: If the child has very painful tonsillitis, how should it be treated.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. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
