Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and also a low fever. Please ask: How can I treat pediatric tonsillitis if it's very painful?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the child's throat is particularly painful, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and the recurrence of tonsillitis.
