Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his cough seems to be quite severe as well. Additionally, he has a low fever. Please ask: If a child's tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, analgesics can be considered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic medication should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, ensure the child gets plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
