Patient's question:
Boy, already 9 years old. At first, he said even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and at the same time, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and throat pain in children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered, and they can be combined with local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to use fever-reducing measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should also ensure their child stays warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering another episode of tonsillitis.
