Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that his cough was also quite severe. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated when it's uncomfortable for children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, analgesic drugs can be applied. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing drugs can be taken orally. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. In addition, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
