Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and it was found that his cough is also quite severe. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How can we effectively treat tonsillitis pain in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication may be considered. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication should be administered.In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
