Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when he drank water. He also had mild coughing, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in young children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. When necessary, such as when the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be administered. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If your child frequently experiences this condition, after the illness is under control, surgical treatment can be considered to prevent recurrence. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the doctor for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
