Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a slight pain in his throat, noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and also had a low fever. Question: How can the child's tonsillitis, which is red and swollen, be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor, or use local medications such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. Pain relievers can also be given to children based on their condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, as this can help alleviate discomfort. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and further inflammation of the tonsils.
