How to diagnose and treat tonsillitis pain in children

Patient's question:

Boy, he is already 3 years old. At first, his throat felt a bit sore. He noticed that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well, and it seemed like his low-grade fever hadn't gone away either. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be diagnosed and treated?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. Physical cooling is recommended for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral antipyretics can be used for temperatures above 38.5°C. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
