Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated if the child's tonsils are swollen and painful.Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor, and local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
