Question
My son is 4 years old. Initially, he had a slight sore throat and noticed that he was coughing more severely. Now, he has a persistent high fever. How should throat pain in children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, regional treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injection, laser therapy, etc. If the throat pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be administered. If the child keeps running a fever, parents should also give some fever-reducing medication, or take the child to the hospital immediately. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to avoid recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life and consume mainly liquid foods during the treatment period.
