Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something. Then, we noticed his cough is quite severe, and it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Could you please tell me: How can tonsillitis pain be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, local flushing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy of these treatments is quite good. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing drugs can be administered. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
