Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and also had a low fever. Question: How can the treatment be effective if the child with tonsillitis cries and screams?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication may also be used. If the child experiences severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. For fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
