Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 9 years old, initially felt a sore throat when speaking. They noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and they have had a low-grade fever for a long time. Question: How should tonsillitis in children be treated for pain relief?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as appropriate. Local irrigation or topical spray can also be used. Symptomatic drugs can also be injected into the tonsils, all of which have good effects. Pain relievers can also be given to children based on their condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. While treating the condition, parents should also ensure that the child follows a light diet and gets adequate nutrition to aid in early recovery.
