Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing. It was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How can the inflammation of the tonsils in the child cause crying and how to treat it effectively.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, or opt for local rinsing or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing drugs can be administered. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. While undergoing treatment, it's also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid early recovery.
