Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 9 years old, at first, said that even drinking water felt painful in his throat. He noticed that it was accompanied by mild coughing, and it seemed like a low fever that never subsided. Please ask: How can the discomfort of tonsillitis in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing systemic treatment, you can also opt for local treatments to enhance efficacy. These methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child still has a slight fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
