How to treat tonsillitis when children feel uncomfortable

Patient's question:

Boy, he is already 2 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and it seemed like a low fever that just wouldn't go away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated when the child is feeling uncomfortable?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinses are recommended. If the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring the child to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
