Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something. I noticed that his cough is quite severe and he also has a low fever. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections can also be used. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advised to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
