Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he also had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How should I treat my child's sore and painful tonsillitis?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 can also be used, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injections, etc. 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 fever, it should be managed accordingly, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
