Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 4 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated if the child's tonsils are swollen and painful.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering further inflammation of the tonsils.
