Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. He has also had a slight fever. I would like to ask: What is the most effective treatment for tonsillitis when the child is crying and screaming?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Local medications can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
