Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. She noticed that her cough seems to be more severe as well. Additionally, she has a low fever. Please ask: How can tonsillitis in children be treated effectively for pain relief?Doctor's answer:
Currently in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are both effective. If a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered based on the situation. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is essential to ensure the child is well-warmed to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
