Question
My son is 3 years old. He started to feel pain when swallowing and drinking water, and it seems like he has difficulty swallowing. Moreover, he seems to have a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis pain?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis includes administering anti-inflammatory medications, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections, and for those with severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If there is a fever, antipyretics can be taken. If symptoms cannot be relieved, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there are recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgery can be considered. After recovery, it is recommended that the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
