Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, he has mild coughing, and has had a slight fever for a while. Question: How should a child with tonsillitis and crying 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 undergoing systemic treatment, you can also opt for local treatments to enhance efficacy, such as crypt irrigation or direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. If the child also has a fever, you can consider taking fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
