Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered that his cough was quite severe, and it seemed like his low-grade fever never subsided. Please ask: How should I treat my child's very painful tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
