Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he felt a little sore in his throat. He noticed that his cough was quite severe, and at the same time, he had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Please ask: If a child's tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all good options. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be given. Additionally, if fever is present, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
