Patient's question:
Boy, he is 6 years old. At first, he said that swallowing things hurt, and it was found that it was accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he had been a bit feverish. Please ask: How can tonsillitis in children be treated effectively when it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can be selected based on bacterial culture to choose sensitive antibiotics. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If there are multiple episodes of acute severe symptoms or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
