Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, it is accompanied by mild coughing, and it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Question: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or direct medication, to enhance the therapeutic effect. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
