Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Additionally, if fever is present, you may also take fever-reducing drugs. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
