Question
My son is 7 years old. Initially, he said his throat was sore, and I noticed that his coughing seemed more severe, and he has had a slight fever all along. What should be done to treat a child’s tonsillitis with crying and distress?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to administer some anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Additionally, regional treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intramuscular injections, and laser therapy. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, parents can consider giving some painkillers to relieve the discomfort. If the child has a fever, a moderate amount of fever-reducing medicine can be taken. However, if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs, surgical treatment is recommended. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this disease and take their child for medical treatment as soon as possible. It is also important to pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures in everyday life.
