Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 7 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child has very painful tonsillitis, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. However, for high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgery is advised as early as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
