Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, already in primary school. At first, he said it hurts to swallow things. It was found that his cough seems to be quite severe as well, and he's a bit feverish and lacks energy. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with swollen tonsils be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications, or use local treatments, such as tonsil crypt rinsing or medication injections into the tonsils. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child still has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
