Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking. He noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should the treatment be if the child has tonsillitis pain?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. Additionally, if there is a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly.Apart from these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
