Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat and found it a bit difficult to swallow. He also had a low fever. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis in young children if it's very painful?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them according to symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
