Question
My daughter is 6 years old and has recently been experiencing severe throat pain and coughing, along with a persistent low fever. How should I effectively treat the pain of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
During treatment, you can provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs based on the child’s symptoms, and also consider regional treatments to enhance the effect, which may include tonsil pocket irrigation and regional tonsil injections. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, some painkillers can be considered to relieve symptoms. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can appropriately use antipyretics or seek immediate medical attention. If the child’s tonsils frequently become inflamed, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. After the condition improves, it is suggested that the child engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
