Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 9 years old, initially had a slightly sore throat. He noticed it was accompanied by mild coughing and also had a low fever. Please ask: If the child develops 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. While taking medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to manage the fever accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
