Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should the child be treated if the tonsils are inflamed and crying?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
