Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 9 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that it was accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can the inflammation and swelling of the child's tonsils be treated effectively?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. Local medication can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
