Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 9 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and found that his voice was a bit hoarse when talking. Moreover, he has had a slight fever all the time. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated if it is very painful in children?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. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focused on light foods, and to get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
