Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and he noticed that his cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How can we treat his tonsillitis and reduce his crying?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the 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 schedule for the child to help the disease recover more quickly.
