Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 7 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a low fever. Question: How should pediatric tonsillitis pain be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections may also be used. For severe sore throat, appropriate analgesics can be administered. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, and physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C. If there are recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
