Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found to be accompanied by mild cough. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic medication can be administered orally. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent colds that may trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
