Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. He noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and he had been slightly feverish all along. Question: How should the tonsillitis with high fever of the child be treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. For local treatment, it is recommended to opt for laser therapy or medication rinsing. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is advisable to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain a light diet and primarily consume liquid foods.
