Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. It has been noticed that his cough is quite severe, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Question: How should tonsillitis be treated in children?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. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all good options. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child still has a fever, fever reduction measures should be taken accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention should be sought. In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. After the condition improves, it is advised to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
