Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated when it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Local medication can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during treatment.
