Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that his cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. While being treated, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
