Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing. It was found that his cough is quite severe, and at the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should the treatment be for tonsillitis pain in the child.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Local medications can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
