Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a slight sore throat, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and also had a low fever. Question: How should tonsillitis pain be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child still has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
