Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and it seems like a low-grade fever that hasn't gone away. Question: How should tonsillitis pain in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can also be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If the condition does not improve, medical attention must be sought. If your child frequently experiences this, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
