Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurt, and it was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, he had been slightly feverish. Question: How should we treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, or local treatments can be applied, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. Additionally, if the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery early on. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Rest is also crucial, and fatigue should be avoided.
