Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water, and noticed mild coughing. Additionally, he had low-grade fever. Please ask: How should acute tonsillitis in young children be treated if it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them according to symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be selected to enhance efficacy, including methods such as crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
