Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in elementary school. At first, he said he had a sore throat, and it was noticed that he also had a mild cough. Additionally, he had a low fever. Question: How should tonsillitis in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If a child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing drugs can be taken orally. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
