Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something. I noticed he also has mild coughing and low fever. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis pain in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be taken. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. After recovery, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
