Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water, noticed difficulty swallowing, and had a low fever. Question: How should the child's tonsillitis be treated when he cries and screams?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat condition is severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
