Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. He noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and he had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated when it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing drugs can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for your child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
