Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can I effectively treat my child's very painful tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers should be used to alleviate the symptoms. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
