Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking. He noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How can a child with severe tonsillitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. 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 to children based on their condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, as this can help alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and the subsequent recurrence of tonsillitis.
