Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his cough is quite severe, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated if the child's tonsillitis is very painful?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, parents can consider giving pain relievers to alleviate discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should also ensure their child stays warm to prevent colds that could trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
