Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in elementary school. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and it was found that his cough is quite severe, and it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should children with tonsillitis be treated when they feel uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which is quite effective. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. Persistent fever in children should be treated with antipyretics in a timely manner. Physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
