Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and he noticed that his cough was quite severe, accompanied by a low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis pain be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen according to the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
