Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and at the same time, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all effective. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is suggested. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering recurrent tonsillitis.
