Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a slight pain in his throat. He noticed that his cough seemed to be getting worse as well. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor according to the symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to reduce the fever accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
