Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and it was noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can the child's tonsillitis be treated effectively when he cries and screams?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications may be considered. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. These are relatively common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
