Patient's question:
Boy, already 5 years old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat. He noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: How should a child with very painful tonsillitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
First, for treating pediatric tonsillitis, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child has a sore throat, pain relievers can also be used. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be administered promptly. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, and the diet should be light. Additionally, it is necessary to ensure the child gets plenty of rest and avoids fatigue.
