Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old, at first, said it hurts when swallowing, noticed that, coughing is relatively severe, and accompanied by low fever, please ask: How to treat the child's tonsillitis if they are crying.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen according to the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; if it is above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
