Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and also had low-grade fever. Question: How should tonsillitis in young children be treated if it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can also be used. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. While treating, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
