Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that his cough seemed to be getting worse as well. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in the child be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be recommended. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help speed up recovery.
