Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he said even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should one effectively treat tonsillitis when the child is crying?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods, and to get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
