Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old, just started, saying it hurts when swallowing, found, coughing is quite severe, and has been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should a child with sore tonsils be treated for pain?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be administered. If a child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
