Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can tonsillitis be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. It can also be combined with local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar medication injections, which are all effective. If the child has severe throat pain, pain-relieving medication can be administered as needed. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is advised. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
