Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and noticed that his cough seemed to be getting worse as well. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can a sore throat with tonsillitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar medication injections, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
