Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 9 years old, at the beginning, said that drinking water with a sore throat felt painful, noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and was accompanied by low fever. Please ask: how should the treatment be if the child's tonsils are inflamed and painful.Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt lavage or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, fever reduction should be considered accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention is necessary. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help with early recovery.
