Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 7 years old, initially said that even drinking water felt painful in his throat. He noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and it appeared that his low fever hadn't subsided either. Please ask: How should the treatment be for his very painful tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. They can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all effective. If a child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
