Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. I noticed that his cough is quite severe, and it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. I would like to ask: If my child has very painful tonsillitis, how should it be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be given appropriately. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication flushing is recommended. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed accordingly, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery early. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
