Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, noticed it with mild coughing, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Question: How should tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated when they feel uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
To treat pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first give their child anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt lavage or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents administer pain relievers as needed for relief. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during the treatment period.
