Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed he was coughing quite severely, accompanied by a low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis pain in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected accordingly. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication may also be used. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a fever, antipyretics should be administered as needed. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. For repeated acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
