Question
My daughter is 5 years old and has recently started feeling a sore throat, accompanied by severe coughing and persistent high fever. How should we diagnose and treat the tonsillitis pain in children?
Answer
If a child experiences painful tonsillitis, consider using symptomatic medication such as antibiotics or regional drugs, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intra-tonsillar injections. If fever is present, consider antipyretics, but seek medical attention promptly if the fever persists. If a child has frequent episodes of tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, pay attention to nutritional supplementation, light diet, and rest.
