Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It turns out his cough is also quite severe. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed, how should they be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. Local flushing or local spraying can also be used. Symptomatic drugs can also be injected into the tonsils, and the efficacy is quite good. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. 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. If it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases exist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease and take the child to the hospital for early medical treatment.。
