Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 8 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was found that he also had a mild cough, and he had been slightly feverish all along. Question: How should pediatric tonsillitis pain be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, and can also combine them with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections, which are all quite effective. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child also has a fever, it should be treated accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
