Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing. It was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should pharyngitis and tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?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. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention is necessary. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
