Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. He noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he also had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should I treat my child's sore and swollen tonsils?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. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections can also be used. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, it should be treated accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
