Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. Later, it was found that his cough is quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated when it's uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on the symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. Pain relievers can also be given to children based on their condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, as this can help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover more quickly.
