Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water, and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. He also had a slight fever and felt lacking in energy. Please ask: How can tonsillitis be effectively treated when children feel uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. Local flushing or topical application of medication is also possible. Medication can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which have good efficacy. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed appropriately. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
