Question
My child is a 5-year-old boy. He has recently started experiencing a sore throat, along with severe coughing and a persistent high fever. I want to know, how should I treat my child’s tonsillitis to achieve good results?
Answer
For the child’s symptoms, the following treatment methods can be adopted: Firstly, provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s condition. Additionally, regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications can be tried. In cases of severe throat pain, a moderate amount of pain relievers can be administered. If fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever situations, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to the above common methods, surgery is also a feasible treatment option, especially suitable for children with recurrent episodes. Moreover, parents should also pay attention to keeping their child well-warmed in daily life to prevent colds from causing the tonsils to become inflamed again.
