Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was found that he also had a mild cough, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated if it is very painful in young children.Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed accordingly, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgery as a treatment option. During treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and focus on a liquid diet.
