Question
The boy is 3 years old. Initially, he complained of pain when drinking water, and it was found that he also had slight coughing and a bit of fever, and he seemed lackluster. How should a child’s crying and fussing due to tonsillitis be effectively treated?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be performed, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injection with medication. If the child has a particularly sore throat, some painkillers can be given as appropriate. For children with low-grade fever, physical cooling measures can be taken. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If the child repeatedly experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as soon as possible. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
