Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that he also had a mild cough, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Question: How can the child's tonsillitis be treated effectively if it is painful?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used in a timely manner. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
