Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 5 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. He noticed that his cough seems to be more severe as well. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should one treat a child with tonsillitis who is crying and upset?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. While taking medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be used. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be the primary focus during treatment.
