Question
Dear Baby, currently 5 years old, just started to say that swallowing is painful, noticed that there is also a slight cough and a bit of fever, not very energetic. How should a child’s crying due to tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and at the same time, carry out some local treatments, such as rinsing, to consolidate the treatment effect. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a fever, timely use of antipyretics is recommended. Fever reduction can be achieved physically if the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks; after the inflammation is controlled, surgery can be considered. During this period, make sure the child gets plenty of rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
