Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, his throat felt a bit sore, and then we noticed his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he had a slight fever and seemed lacking in energy. Could you please advise on how to effectively treat tonsillitis pain in children?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsil crypt flushing and medication injections may also be used. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be applied. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be given on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
