Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. He noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How can tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately administered. While systemic treatment is ongoing, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt lavage, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, and more. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has been continuously feverish, parents can also administer fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. It is important to maintain a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during the treatment period.
