Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 years old, at the beginning, said it hurts when swallowing, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, also a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis in children when it's very painful.Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Moreover, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm to prevent further aggravation of symptoms due to cold exposure.
