Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed he has a slight cough. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis if it's causing discomfort?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication can also be used. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken orally. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar conditions exist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
