Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. I'm asking: How should I treat his tonsillitis if it's painful?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given according to the situation. If the child still has a fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
