Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 years old, at the beginning, felt sore throat even when drinking water, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and a bit feverish with no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain be treated in children for the best results.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
