Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a bit of pain in his throat. He noticed it, and his cough became quite severe. Also, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should a child with very painful tonsillitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While taking medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. These are all common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover more quickly.
