Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. He noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use analgesics to alleviate the symptoms. Persistent fever in the child should be treated with antipyretics; physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is advised two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
