Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 9 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, antipyretic medications can be administered, or the child should be taken to the hospital immediately. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
