Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when he drank water, and it was discovered that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. Local flushing or topical application can also be used. Medication can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief. The efficacy of these methods is quite good. If the child has severe throat pain, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further symptoms from worsening due to cold exposure.
