Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. 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, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be applied. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the illness is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is recommended.
