Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when he drank water. He also found that his cough seemed quite severe. Additionally, it seemed like his low-grade fever never went away. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis pain be treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can also be applied. If necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed accordingly, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further exacerbating the symptoms by catching a cold.
