Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he had a sore throat, and then discovered it was accompanied by mild coughing. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Question: How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated when it's uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation is recommended. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers can be used to alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, if the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is suggested to consider surgery as early as possible. While treating, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
