Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in elementary school. At first, he had a slightly sore throat. He noticed that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well, accompanied by a low fever. Please ask: If the child has inflamed tonsils and severe pain, how should it be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
