Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he was a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are swollen and very painful, how should the treatment be carried out.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their children under the guidance of a doctor, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local rinsing or topical spraying can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication should be administered. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
