Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that he also had mild coughing, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis, which is very painful, be treated properly.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. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, antipyretics can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to the above drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent symptoms from worsening.
