Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking. He noticed severe coughing and low-grade fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as appropriate. They can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all effective. If a child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
