Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 8 years old, at the beginning, said that even drinking water with a sore throat feels painful. They noticed that their voice is a bit hoarse when speaking. At the same time, they now have 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:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to the above drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
