Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water, and he noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Meanwhile, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections can also be used. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
