Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he also had a low fever. Question: If the child's tonsils are swollen and very painful, how should they be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. When necessary, such as when the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medications. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
