Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed he had severe coughing and also a low fever. I would like to ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated properly?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 tonsillar injections may also be used. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a fever, it should be managed appropriately, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. For multiple 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.
