Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. Then, he developed severe coughing and also had a low fever. I would like to ask: How should I treat tonsillitis pain in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing systemic treatment, you can also opt for local treatments to enhance efficacy, such as crypt irrigation or direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, you can consider taking fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. During the treatment period, it is advisable to maintain a light diet and primarily consume liquid foods.
