Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking, and discovered that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't break. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first use symptomatic antibiotic medication, or local treatments, such as tonsillar crypt lavage or intratonsillar drug injection. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. Tonsillitis tends to recur, so if similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Parents should also ensure their child stays warm to prevent catching a cold, which could trigger another episode of tonsillitis.
