Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a little sore in his throat. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated well?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatments can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken, but if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences such conditions, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During the treatment period, it is crucial to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further exposure to cold to prevent worsening of symptoms.
