Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, accompanied by low fever. Question: How should tonsil inflammation and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. When necessary, such as when the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be given. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed accordingly, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can also choose surgery under the guidance of a doctor. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
