Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. He noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and he had been slightly feverish for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in the child be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child also has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
