Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in elementary school. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How can the inflammation of the child's tonsils be treated effectively for relief?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, they can take fever-reducing medication 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 also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
