Patient's question:
Boy, already 9 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and at the same time, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated 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 intratonsillar medication injection. 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. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. 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 adequate rest.
