Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 8 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was found that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well, accompanied by low-grade fever. Question: How can tonsillitis in children be effectively treated when it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including 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 some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If this does not relieve the symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take their child to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
