Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and also had a low fever. Please ask: How should children's tonsillitis, which is very painful, 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. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be selected to enhance efficacy, including methods such as crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child has persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
