Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Meanwhile, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should the treatment be for the child's tonsillitis and crying?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. They can also combine it with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all good options. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, they can take some fever-reducing medication orally. If your child frequently experiences this, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During this period, make sure the child gets enough rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
