Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated.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 according to symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections can be used in conjunction. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication should be administered. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and recurrent tonsillitis.
