Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat was sore. It was found that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well, and it seemed like his low-grade fever hadn't gone away either. Question: How should the treatment be if the child has tonsillitis pain?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them according to symptoms, or use local rinsing or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
