Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 7 years old and experiencing throat pain while speaking, difficulty swallowing, and persistent high fever. Question: How should the pain from pediatric tonsillitis be treated effectively?
Answer
It is advised for parents to select suitable antibiotic or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medications may be considered. For children with apparent throat pain, painkillers can be used, and physical cooling methods should be employed during low-grade fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention is required. In addition to medication, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment. It is also recommended to maintain a light diet and consume mainly liquid foods during the treatment period.
