Patient's question:
My male child, who is 9 years old, initially had a slightly sore throat. Later, he developed severe coughing, and now he has a high fever that hasn't subsided. Please advise: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While taking medication, you can also perform local treatments, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to give pain relief medication based on the situation. Additionally, if fever is present, you can take some fever-reducing drugs. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be recommended. During this period, make sure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
