Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she said even drinking water felt painful in her throat. She then discovered that her cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should one treat tonsillitis pain in the child?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms or use local medications, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, they can consider taking fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further exposure to cold to prevent worsening of symptoms.
