Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, or local irrigation or topical sprays can be applied. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils, all of which have good efficacy. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
