Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, he has severe coughing, and at the same time, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should the treatment be if the child has tonsillitis pain?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If a child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen according to the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, it is necessary to pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue.
