Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking. He noticed that his cough seemed to be getting worse, and it also seemed like his low-grade fever hadn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in the child be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is well-warmed to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
