Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water, and I noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he had been running a low fever. I would like to ask: How should we treat a child with tonsillitis who is crying to achieve the best results?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain-relieving medication is advised to alleviate the symptoms. If the child still has a fever, appropriate fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
