Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a bit of pain in his throat. He noticed that his cough seemed to be getting worse, and it also seemed like his low fever hadn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated when it's very painful in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the child's primary symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the condition does not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
