Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old, just starting, feels a sore throat when speaking, notices it, swallowing seems a bit difficult, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in young children be treated if it is very painful?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. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers should be used to alleviate the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. These are all common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be maintained to avoid fatigue.
