How to Treat Painful Tonsillitis in Children

Patient's question:

Boy, already 2 years old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat. It was found that the cough was quite severe, and now he still has a high fever that doesn't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated well.

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 based on symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken, but if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods, and ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
