Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, his throat felt a little sore, and he found that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, accompanied by low-grade fever. Please ask: How should a child with very painful tonsillitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be administered appropriately, or local rinsing or topical spraying can be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which are quite effective. If the child's throat pain is severe, analgesics can be given as needed. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
