Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 9 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that it was accompanied by mild coughing, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated when the child is feeling uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can also be used. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child still has a fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is required. If the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early. While treating the condition, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
