Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when he drank water. He also had mild coughing and a slight fever, and he wasn't feeling well. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis pain in children for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or it can be combined with local treatment methods such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. Tonsillitis is known for its recurrent nature. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to emphasize rest to avoid fatigue.
