Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 8 years old, initially said that he felt pain when swallowing. It was noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: If a child's tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. If the child also has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
