Question
My 9-year-old son, at first, said he felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed that his coughing seemed more severe, accompanied by a low-grade fever. Please ask: How should a child’s tonsillitis be treated to achieve good results when crying?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, first, we can use symptomatic antibiotic medications, and also combine with some regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injection medications, etc., which are quite effective. If the child’s throat is very painful, painkillers can be given appropriately. If the child has fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken. In serious cases, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of recurrent acute severe episodes or complications, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. During this period, it is important to ensure that the child gets plenty of rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
