Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with a sore throat felt painful. He also noticed that his cough seemed quite severe, and he had been running a low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated when it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers should be given to alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, early surgery is advisable. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
