Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, his throat felt a bit sore, and he noticed that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well, accompanied by a low fever. Please ask: How should a child with sore tonsils be treated appropriately for pain?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. Local flushing or topical application of medication can also be used. Medications can be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If the child has severe throat pain, analgesics can be given as needed. In case of fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature: physical cooling is recommended for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral fever-reducing medication can be administered for temperatures above 38.5°C. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
