Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt sore throat even when drinking water, noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and it seemed like his low-grade fever never subsided. Question: How should a child with tonsillitis be treated when feeling uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, and they can also be combined with local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use analgesics to alleviate the symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, it should be managed accordingly, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
