Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 7 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and very painful, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, they can take some fever-reducing medication. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
