Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 8 years old, started to feel a sore throat when speaking, and found that his voice was a bit hoarse. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in infants and young children, which is very painful, be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately.In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring the child to the doctor for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
