Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, when he spoke, he felt a sore throat, and he noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. Pain relievers can also be given to children, especially when throat pain is severe, to alleviate discomfort. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. After recovery, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
