Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 5 years old, started by saying that he felt pain when swallowing. It was noticed that he also had mild coughing. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are swollen and very painful, how should they be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and you can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all effective. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take their children to the hospital for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
