Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 7 years old. At first, he had a slight sore throat. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and he also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and uncomfortable, how should they be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, and can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injection medications, which are all good options. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent them from catching colds and triggering recurrent tonsillitis.
