Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, he had a low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis if my child's tonsils are inflamed and sore?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, can be given based on the child's symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or medication injection into the tonsils can also be performed. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be administered. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, especially for children who experience recurrent episodes. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
