Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should the child be treated if he is suffering from tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing systemic treatment, you can also opt for local treatments to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If a child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and primarily consume liquid foods during the treatment period.
