Patient's question:
Boy, already 9 years old, at first, said that even drinking water with a sore throat felt painful. He found that it was accompanied by mild coughing, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated when the child is uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. In cases of sore throat, children can also be given pain relievers. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. For recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
