Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 9 years old, initially felt pain when trying to drink water, noticed difficulty swallowing, and also had a low fever. Question: How should tonsillitis pain in the child be treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, it should be managed accordingly, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help with early recovery.
