Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a little sore in his throat. He noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe, and he also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated for pain relief?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. Pain relievers can also be administered based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
