Question
My child is a 4-year-old boy. He just started saying that drinking water is painful, and he has a slight cough. He has also had a slight fever. How can a child’s tonsillitis be treated effectively?
Answer
When treating such diseases, you can give your child symptomatic antibiotic medications, and also combine with regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injections, etc. You can also administer painkillers based on your child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate the pain. Additionally, if there is a fever, you can take antipyretic medication. If the fever is high, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks. If there are similar conditions, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, also pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and lifestyle for your child to help the disease recover sooner.
