Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 5 years old, started by saying that he had pain when swallowing, noticed that he had mild coughing, and also had low fever. Please ask: How should the child be treated if he has tonsillitis pain?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult with a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents may consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. During treatment, it is advisable to maintain a light diet and primarily consume liquid foods.
