Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and found that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. He also had a slight fever and felt lethargic. Please ask: How can tonsillitis pharyngitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During treatment, it is important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
