Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Also, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis, which is very painful, be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Local treatment methods can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
