Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 4 years old. At first, he felt sore when drinking water, and found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and very painful, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic medication can be administered orally. 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 the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, it is necessary to ensure sufficient rest and avoid fatigue.
