Patient's question:
My boy, who is 9 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. I noticed he had severe coughing and had been slightly feverish. I am asking: What is the most effective treatment for severe tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating these diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. 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 has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. After recovery, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
