Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. At the same time, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are both effective. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to avoid catching colds and triggering further inflammation of the tonsils.
