Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, and had severe coughing. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. Question: How should the tonsillitis be treated if the child is feeling uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms, or local medications can be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken orally. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Pay attention to a light diet, and during treatment, a liquid diet should be the main focus.
