Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in elementary school. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and he noticed that his cough seems to be more severe as well. It seems like his low fever hasn't gone away either. Question: How should the child be treated if his tonsillitis is causing discomfort?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child has severe sore throat, it is suggested to give pain relievers based on the situation. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
