Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that he also has a mild cough and low fever. Question: How can the pain of tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis, and can be selected as appropriate. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
