How to diagnose and treat children's tonsillitis discomfort

Patient's question:

Boy, already 9 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and at the same time, he had a low fever. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat children's tonsillitis when it's uncomfortable.

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or medication injection into the tonsils. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. If the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be applied. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
