Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Meanwhile, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and crying be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While taking medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, to enhance the therapeutic effect. In cases of sore throat, you can also give children pain relievers. If the child has a fever, you can administer fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
