Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, then discovered that his cough was quite severe, and it seemed like his low-grade fever never subsided. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated when the child is feeling uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, analgesic medication can be used. Additionally, if fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to the above drug and treatment methods, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
