Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he said that even drinking water with a sore throat felt painful. He noticed that his cough seemed quite severe as well, and it appeared that his low-grade fever hadn't gone away either. Please ask: How to treat crying and fussing in young children with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. When necessary, such as when the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be given. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication as appropriate. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
