Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and discovered that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he had been slightly feverish. Question: How should tonsillitis be treated effectively for the child?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, and some local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections are all good options. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can use fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
