Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts, and it was noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Question: How can the child's sore tonsils be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, you can first administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child's symptoms, or perform local irrigation or local spraying. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils, and the efficacy is quite good. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give them fever-reducing medication, or take the child to the hospital immediately. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. After the condition improves, it is advisable to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
