Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a slight pain in his throat and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Meanwhile, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should one treat tonsillitis when the child is feeling uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, as they can help alleviate the pain. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Finally, parents should take this disease seriously, take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
