Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he said even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He also found that his cough seemed quite severe, and he had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should we treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections can also be used. Pain relievers may be administered when necessary, especially if the child has severe sore throat. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further exacerbating symptoms by catching a cold.
