Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed, and it was found that his cough was also quite severe, and he had been slightly feverish. Question: How should children with tonsillitis be treated when they feel uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics, local flushing or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which are quite effective. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, as they can help alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If it cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during treatment.
