Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 years old, at the beginning, he said it hurts when he swallows things. He noticed that his cough is quite severe, and it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should the treatment be for tonsillitis in children, which is very painful?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, or local treatments can be applied, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
