Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, and noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How can the child's tonsillitis be treated effectively when he is feeling uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever, timely use of antipyretics is advised. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
