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 seemed to be getting worse, and it also seemed like his low-grade fever had not gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in the child be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections can also be used. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should give them fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
