Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat. I noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: How can tonsillitis be treated effectively when it's very painful in young children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used in conjunction. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be administered. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature: below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication should be taken. If there are recurrent inflammation cases, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
