Question
How should children with tonsillitis be treated if they are very painful?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, they can be treated with anti-inflammatory medication for systemic treatment, or choose regional treatment to enhance the efficacy, such as tonsil crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsil, etc. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, it is recommended that parents consider giving the child painkillers to relieve symptoms. Some children may have a fever, and can take antipyretic drugs orally; if the fever cannot be relieved, it is necessary to seek medical attention. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, consider surgical treatment after controlling the condition to avoid recurrent attacks. At the same time, pay attention to giving the child a light diet, enhancing nutritional supplementation, and promoting recovery.
