Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and it was noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Meanwhile, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can the child's tonsillitis be treated effectively when he is crying?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them according to symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Moreover, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
