Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed something, and it was accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, and local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; if it is above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child is well-warmed to prevent worsening of symptoms due to catching a cold.
