Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. He noticed that it is accompanied by mild coughing, and at the same time, it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should the treatment be if the child has tonsillitis and sore throat?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local flushing or topical application of medication can also be used. Medication can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment. The efficacy of these methods is quite good. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is advisable for parents to consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
