Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 9 years old. At first, his throat felt a bit sore, and he noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he had been running a low fever. Please ask: If the child's tonsillitis is causing discomfort, what treatment is most effective for it?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child still has a slight fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention is necessary. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and recurrent tonsillitis.
