Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How can we treat a child's tonsillitis effectively when they are crying?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, and some local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication are all good options. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering recurrent tonsillitis.
