Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 6 months old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat, and then discovered it was accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should a child's tonsillitis be treated for pain?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected accordingly. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections can be combined. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is intense, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
