Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water, and he also had mild coughing. Now, he has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
