Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, accompanied by a slight cough. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Question: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to have a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease and take their children to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. They should also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
