Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing medications can be taken orally. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
