Patient's question:
The child's cough has persisted for a while, almost for more than half a month. Oral medication has provided some relief, but the cough returns repeatedly after stopping the medication. A thorough examination at the hospital diagnosed tonsillitis. Hello, how should I deal with tonsillitis and cough in children?Doctor's answer:
Recurring cases of children suffering from tonsillitis and cough are often caused by viral infections. It is recommended to promptly take the child to a formal pediatric department for a thorough examination. Medications that clear the lungs and cool the blood should be taken. If the child has congenital tonsillar hypertrophy and their constitution is suitable for surgery, it is advisable to consider surgical removal of the tonsils. Avoid taking the child to places with poor air supply, and ensure they drink plenty of water to prevent stomach issues.
