Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 7 years old, at first, felt sore throat when drinking water, discovered accompanied by mild cough, and now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with tonsillitis in young children be treated if it is very painful.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all good options. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case they can take some fever-reducing medication. If this does not relieve the symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can also choose surgery for treatment after consulting with a doctor. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to ensure the child has a light diet and adequate nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
