Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water, and he noticed mild coughing. Additionally, he had low-grade fever. Please ask: How can we effectively treat tonsillitis pain in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections may also be used. If the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
