Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he had a slightly sore throat. He noticed that his cough seemed to be getting worse, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should the treatment be if the child has tonsillitis pain?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. They can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections, which are all effective. Pain relievers can also be given to children based on their condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
