Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. He noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied. If the child's sore throat is severe, pain relievers may be recommended based on the situation. Moreover, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly.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.
