Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old, just starting. She says her throat hurts even when drinking water, and she notices it accompanied by mild coughing. Also, she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
To treat pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first give their child anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child also has a low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. During the treatment period, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
