Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he said even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and at the same time, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should we treat the child's sore tonsils for relief?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the child experiences severe sore throat, pain relievers may be recommended based on the situation. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen according to the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
