Patient's question:

Boy, already 9 years old, at first, said his throat hurts, noticed that, cough is quite severe, and, seems like low fever hasn't gone away, please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated effectively.

Doctor's answer:

To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local rinsing or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which are quite effective. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. In daily life, maintain a light diet, and focus on a liquid diet during treatment.
