Patient's question:
Boy, already 5 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that it is accompanied by mild cough, and it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pharyngalgia in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
First, parents can give their children anti-inflammatory medications to treat pediatric tonsillitis. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. It is advisable to maintain a light diet during daily life and consume mainly liquid foods during the treatment period.
