Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 7 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: If the child has sore tonsillitis and it hurts very much, how should it be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider early surgery. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
