Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. I'm asking: How can I effectively treat a child's tonsillitis for relief?Doctor's answer:
If the child has tonsillitis, first, you can use some symptomatic antibiotic medications. If the child's condition is severe, you can also combine some local treatments, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. If the child primarily has a sore throat symptom, it is recommended that parents can give some pain relievers to alleviate it. If the child has been feverish, parents can also give some fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
