Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should the treatment be carried out if the child has tonsillitis pain?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child still has a fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
