Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something. We noticed that he also has a mild cough and a low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis, which is very painful, be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child also has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Finally, parents should take this disease seriously, take the child to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
