Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found to be accompanied by mild cough, and also accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis in children effectively when it is uncomfortable.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. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is advisable to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be selected according to the body temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while oral antipyretics can be administered for temperatures above 38.5°C. If your child frequently experiences such conditions, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for your child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
