Patient's question:
My child is a male baby, 2 years old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat, noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he also had a slight fever and low energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intra-tonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate analgesics can be administered. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while for temperatures above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics should be taken. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If such cases persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. While treating the condition, it is important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional support to aid early recovery.
