Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, who has started primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should the treatment be for children with tonsillitis crying?Doctor's answer:
If treatment is needed, can be administered based on the child's symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injections, laser therapy, etc. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. While treating, it's important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
