Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 2 years old, just started, saying her throat hurts, found that her cough is quite severe, and she has had a slight fever for a while. Question: How is it treated when children's tonsillitis is painful.

Doctor's answer:

First, parents can give their children anti-inflammatory medications to treat pediatric tonsillitis. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intra-tonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child primarily exhibits sore throat symptoms, parents are advised to consider administering pain relief medication to alleviate the discomfort. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can give fever-reducing medications or seek immediate medical attention. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to ensure the child has a light diet, strengthens nutritional intake, and promotes early recovery.
