Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was discovered that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis pain be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication flushing is recommended. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents may consider giving pain relievers to alleviate discomfort. If the child still has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
