Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things. It was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should the treatment be for tonsillitis pain in the child?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
