Question
My son is 3 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat when drinking water, and he also had a slight cough. Now he has a persistent fever. How should children’s tonsillitis be treated effectively?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under the doctor’s guidance to relieve the inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments can also be considered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injections. If the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, painkillers may be recommended to alleviate the symptoms. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the illness is controlled to prevent recurrence. Lastly, we hope parents can pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and pay attention to related prevention and health care in their daily lives.
