Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed things. Later, it was found that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he had been slightly feverish for a while. Please ask: How should the discomfort of tonsillitis in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, local medications, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection, or providing pain relief medication for children, especially when throat pain is severe, to alleviate discomfort. If a child has fever symptoms, antipyretic drugs can be administered. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Meanwhile, it is also important to arrange a balanced diet and sleep schedule for the child to aid in early recovery.
