Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 9 years old, just started, saying it hurts when swallowing, noticed that coughing is quite severe, and at the same time, has now high fever that won't break. Please ask: How should I treat it if the child has tonsillitis and severe pain?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their children to effectively relieve inflammatory symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication may be given under discretion. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. For multiple acute severe episodes or cases with complications, tonsillectomy is recommended after two weeks of acute inflammation subsidence. Once the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
