Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and noticed it with mild coughing. Also, it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated when it's uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis first involves parents giving their child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt lavage or intratonsillar medication injection can also be performed. If the child's primary symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider administering pain relief medication accordingly. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be taken. 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 prioritized during treatment.
